Toleration is Acceptance
If you tolerate a bad situation, you are accepting it. You can complain, whine, moan, freak out all that you want to but if you continue to tolerate the situation you are in effect accepting it. So if you are involved with or in a situation that you do not like and you continue to […]
Earned not Discovered
Many people have the false impression that relationships are discovered. An eventful circumstance that collides two soulmates together and voila instant great relationship.

My First Zeppelin Song
I remember the day. A friend of mine gave me a bootlegged copy of Zeppelin’s first few albums on a cassette tape. I put it in my car, hit play while I was driving. I had to pull over. It was like a religious experience. I had no idea what rock and roll or what […]

Maximizing the Day
Today I started out slow and feeling rather sluggish. I decided to make the most out of the day by following my 365 commitment process with exactness. I spent some time in quiet contemplation, with no technology and just sitting in the dark and thinking. I went through things I was struggling with, things I […]

The interval is the critical foundation, the metric is needed to make improvements. […]
